Call of Duty 5 - World At War

Does anyone with the map pack have any opinions on the maps other than Zombie Verruckt?

 

Edit: Woot, page 100.

nightfire is probably the best IMO so far...the Station is a campers paradise(reminds me of that the Narrows on Halo 3, for those who have played H3) and im still kinda neutral on Knee Deep i had a few good games and a few crappy ones...i owned a 3 man clan there going 22-9 on HC TDM.

And the others?

 

I've heard that Subway has a few hidden tunnels and passages, it would be nice to gain the upper hand by finding them early

[ElBarto3131]

I had no problem downloading the map earlier today, but I think that was just before the big rush.

 

And btw Knee Deep is one of my most favourite maps in the COD series now, it fits every play style camping, sniping, run n' gun. It's perfect. Nightfire is pretty good. And Station I don't like, too much camping and a freaking death alley right through the middle where all the subway cars are. Zombie Verruckt is awesome, it's big has a lot of possibilities for different strategies, and at the same time creepy, it made me jump a few times Like that freaky loud voice that says "INSTA KILL!!!" and "MAX AMMO!!!"

How much does the map pack cost? Too lazy to chechk.

[saintdave]

It’s on the last page! £7.99 for UK players $9.99 for our US cousins. I tried to get it myself just now but it’s saying I cant add funds, will try it at 7 tonight when I get home from work which by then I would have hoped these ridiculous issues have been addressed.

[AbSoLuTiOn]

Managed to add funds and download the pack last night, well effectively at around 2:00am.

 

Night Fire or whatever it's called is by far my favorite of the new ones, it's brilliant, well laid out with a large open bit in the center, some alleys around either side and a few hidey holes for people who feel like camping. It seems to work great on the modes i played it on, which were Sabotage and TDM, not sure how it fares in others.

 

Station is a camper paradise, it's pretty symmetrical, with the odd variety on the two side paths that run along each side of the caved in street, snipers tend to stay at the spawns and just pick people off who run down the middle, it's an OK map, but not the best in the pack.

 

Knee Deep just seems too big for normal team games, maybe Hardcore War or Ground War would do it more justice with the increased amount of players, but i found myself running around for ages trying to find people and then when i did, it kill a few, get killed myself and spawn on the other side of the map. It seemed to work slightly better on Sabotage but not on TDM, could work well on Domination though.

 

Zombie Asylum (Verruckt) is ace, they whole zombie mode seems to have been completely redone, instead of a little timer for InstaKill or Double Points, you get a little symbol at the bottom of the screen and an announcer will tell you what it is, the zombies are more aggressive and there are some that move very quickly. Only new weapon i got to use was the STG-44 and i didn't get a chance to use the perks as they cost around 2000/3000 points and i had a crap team.

 

Overall i think the maps are great, a few flaws but not many, worth buying really.

 

Also, anyone got some tips for classes for Hardcore TDM? I could do with some as i had fun playing it on the new maps. I'd also quite like to get a few people together foe a zombie game on the new map, anyone up for it?

[oldage]

The STG-44 always was in the nazi zombie mode.

even the old map.

[Enjoii]

The STG was in the original map too, in the Mystery Box.

[AbSoLuTiOn]

Ah sh*t it was, my bad, well in that case i haven't used any of the new weapons on the zombie map.

[james227uk]

I know. Only new weaon I used is Bettys and the PPsH. The PPsH is pretty rare. I seem to get the ray gun very often on this map Infact I think that's all the new weapons. Apparently, you can run and jump under the grenades and bouncing betties on the wall and it will create an invisible barrier.

Riffles are great for HC TDM, here is a set up i use

 

Primary:M1 Garand w/Sniper Scope

secondary:Tokarev TT-33

prim. grenade:Frag

second. grenade:Tauban gas

perk 1:Bouncin' Betty's or 2 Primary grenades

perk 2:Camoflauge

perk 3:Steady aim

Vehicle perk:ordinance training(doesnt matter for HC)

 

but basically Camouflage for your 2nd perk is the best bet because in hardcore stopping power and juggernaut are useless because of the increased bullet damage.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I'll try it next time i go on WaW.

Well said. Same exact things I was thinking.

 

The new zombie map = fail. The map is too big.

 

I don't like the new setup. When you try to find a game you have to play the new maps are separated from the old maps. The new maps should be mixed in with the old maps.

 

The MP maps are great though.

I think the problem with is is that most games you join with randoms, they don't try and work together, they just want to get to the new stuff, i've only managed to get to Round 7 with randoms, and i usually get to the room to turn on the electricity and open the random box, i managed to get the Speed Cola last game i played of it, helped quite a bit actually.

 

I managed to do something pretty epic on it though, both of the two guys in the game with me were down and all the zombies wer eon me, i had a Thompson and an M1 Garand, i managed to get an Insta-Kill power up and got some down, shortly after i got a x2 power up and i started racking up the points, i managed to hold the mass of zombies that had swarmed the room i was in by myself. I was quite proud.

thats how it was done in COD 4 it stayed that way for a few days to a week. so it'll have to be dealt with that way.

Why don't you forumers create a 4 player lobby for the new zombie map? Then, it won't be "failing".

Well i have suggested it numerous times, Bates and saintdave said they'd be up for it, but thats all i've heard.

[saintdave]

I’m still up for that. I’ve finally managed to deposit some funds into my wallet and the download has started. I even played the zombie level around a friends house so have some familiarity to the set out and tactics needed to do well.

Well I did crap when I started on the left hand side, but that seems to be the harder one to do as in the games with randoms they both die and I had to wait for the zombies to die by themselves, i do really well on the right side.

 

I did have an idea that maybe the left side could just stay in the starting position and the right side makes there way up to the power room, once the power is on, the door in-between the two starting room opens and the left side people could move towards the power room the same way the right side guys did, plus that kind of restricts where the zombies can go and spawn from and how they get to us.

 

It also allows the left side people to get loads of points so they can use the Perk machines and get the best weapons.

 

 

[james227uk]

I disagree. Left team can get to the power room faster and cheaper than the Right team

[AbSoLuTiOn]

The left side seemed harder to advance forward with, the right side seems to have more room to move, making it slightly better to advance, i'd like to try both ways though, see which works best.

I know, your right about Right team. But I think it's more practical for left team

What do the beer machines do in the new zombie map?

And why don't you try reading the last couple of pages? I posted what they do....

 

 

 

Juggernog - Juggernaut - More health

Root Beer - Double tap - Double rate of fire

Revive Soda  - Quicker revive - Revive people quicker

Cant remember - Sleight of hand - Faster reload

 

 

And also guys! Watch out for the teddy bear in the box!

[saintdave]

Finally downloaded it today. Loving the new maps, even went on a run with a mate where we were playing HC map pack and won roughly 10 in a row! The variety is good and I look forward to them being added to the normal play lists in the coming weeks.

 

What’s the furthest you’ve got in the new zombie mode? Myself and 2 friends I know IRL got to 11 rounds with a random player making up the fourth. We could use a fourth with a HS but I’m also game to join in solely with GTAF members.

[AbSoLuTiOn]

I managed to get a game with some friend i have on PSN and two of his mates, but i had an awful connection for some reason, so i could not shoot any zombies, well with any major effect anyway.

 

I'd be up for getting a little group of us together for a few rounds, maybe jump into the normal MP afterwards.

Any idea when the map pack is released here in Ireland, because it's not on the playstation store?

[AbSoLuTiOn]

I would have thought Ireland has the same store as the UK and the rest of Europe, have you looked in every possible place on the store to find it.
